Lyrics Who's Gonna Say - Die Streuner

Who's Gonna Say

It was a lifetime ago, as brothers we lived at home
There was a fond farewell as I sailed away alone
All of these years I’ve been travelling
No one could dream the things I have seen
All of these years I’ve been wandering
Back to this land, back to these leas
Here on this earth, far overseas
Brother I’ve tales to toll
as we gather round your hearth
And I have songs as well that tell of exotic arts
All of these years of great skill and care
You stayed right here and raised up a home
All of these years I’ve been everywhere
I was your eyes, I was your ears
Over the earth, far overseas
Who’s gonna say who’s right
and who’s wrong
Who’s gonna say who’s weak
and who’s strong
Such is life and all and all
It’s up to you
Now as I tell my tales you can be at my side
And as I see your house my heart leaps up and cries
We are two halves of experience
Now we can share a harvest so fine
And we shall give thanks for our providence
We are at home, under these eaves
With food for the soul from far overseas
